Minorities in clinical psychology training: Reflections on the journey to finding a voice

Abstract

Much has been achieved and learnt since the ‘Minorities Group’ became incorporated within the Pre-Qualification Group structure, both collectively and individually. In this article, in addtion to introducing the group and its members, members of the group’s committee reflect on the journey so far and highlight some of the challenges that have come to light during this initial stage of development. Many of these appear to mirror common experiences for individuals from minority groups, and thus may provide an opportunity for the profession to further the dialogue on difference and equality whilst hearing some of the voices of trainee and aspiring clinical psychologists from minority groups as they attempt to find themselves and their voice on their pathway to the profession.
